Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a substrate having an upper surface, a plurality of active fins on the substrate, a gate electrode crossing the plurality of active fins, and at each side of the gate electrode, a source/drain region on the plurality of active fins. The source/drain region may include a plurality of first regions extending from the active fins, and a second region between each of the plurality of first regions. The second region may have a second germanium concentration greater than the first germanium concentration. The source/drain region may be connected to a contact plug, and may have a top surface that has a wave shaped, or curved surface. The top surface may have a larger surface area than a top surface of the contact plug.
